lyrics

Let's keep this quiet
Slip away while perfectly still
Arresting all your sheer matte sins
But can't face where they've been
When you forgot your blade or your dollar bill
Someone else to see
Someone else to kill
They'll express their desire
Feed their loneliness
Then it’s off to feed your vice

Hide 'till we can't remember
We missed you so much
But you'd rather choke
When we all just breathe
You'll numb it all
What makes you higher
You burn your bridges
'cause you like the sight of fire

And the match is lit
Watch her past burn slow
'cause she's beautiful
But was best when she didn't know
'cause it's funny how we kill ourselves
When we're trying to feel alive
Everyone wants to love someone
But she's gone she didn't wanna take the time

She missed out on all that we're here for
So she could break out and fall on her own

She's obsessed with acceptance
And feeling reckless and restless
She'll wear a noose like a necklace
Just to leave the world breathless
